Assessing and Visualizing Incomparabilities by using an Outranking Method Supporting the Acquisition of Military Equipment

Abstract

An essential element in the use of outranking methods for ranking or selection problems arising in the acquisition process of military equipment is the interpretation of incomparabilities. We show how this was done in the PROMETHEE methods by the "GAIA" plane representation, which is implemented in the commercial software "DECISION LAB 2000". We then discuss how the incomparability analysis can be fine-tuned, leading to a more detailed graphical representation. This was implemented in the "MCDMTool" developed at the Royal Military Academy in Brussels.
